Parthiv Patel and Ishant Sharma too had a lengthy net session.

Indian team has gone on to make plans for the next Test at Centurion, after losing the first Test at Cape Town.

The reserves in the team Ishant Sharma, Parthiv Patel, KL Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane, who was unlucky to miss out for the first Test, were seen sweating it out in the nets under the watchful eyes of coaches B Arun and Sanjay Bangar.

Ishant bowled with speed and generated bounce after getting tips and discussing at length with bowling coach B Arun. Parthiv Patel and Ajinkya Rahane was seen batting side by side in the nets and KL Rahul too had a lengthy hit in the nets.

Virat had decided to go with Rohit Sharma instead of Ajinkya Rahane on a pitch that needed patience and skill to survive. Therefore the team management might go in for some changes in the next Test, which India needs to win in order to keep the chances of them winning the series alive.
